When I run install.php on ibilio with the new release MediaWiki-1.1.0 I get the Warning message:
WARNING: register_globals is not on; MediaWiki currently relies on this option.
Is this in fact true? I don't think I have access on Ibiblio to php.ini on Ibiblio.
Or was this patch added?
This is a patch for one of the tasks on Brion's todo list he sent some days ago. Currently, MediaWiki requires the setting of
register_globals = On
in php.ini, which causes some trouble for people trying to install MediaWiki and which might cause some security problems. The attached patch enables MediaWiki to run with register_globals=Off.
There's a test server running this code at

If I need the patch and it works, Where would it go and could someone send it to me. I might be able to be ibiblio to change it but probably not if it affects all ibiblio accounts.
